In your opinion, what is similar and/or different about the experiences of immigrants to the U. S. during this time period compared to immigrants to the U. S. today?

Honestly speaking, the immigrants just come to the U.S. to "live a better life," I put that in quotation since it's nothing but racial slurs and bad behavior being thrown on to them. For example, I'm pretty sure you know about street vendors trying to make a living out there and instead there is a threat towards them and disruption to their property. It just isn't right. And now they want to seal up the border and not let in the immigrants, which is to me, it's a disappointment since they probably wanted or needed something to look forward to and make themselves a brighter future here. And not only Hispanics be getting this, other race as well, but the old race be getting it the most, on the news, you see maybe a 50-60-year-old getting threatened or beaten up by a couple of youngsters who dislike their race, and it's pretty scary. They don't need that, they just want to make a living out here, it seems like they can't get it and that's how I feel and see this.

the hollywood film industry of 1950 was threatened on several different fronts. television broadcasting was rapidly becoming the dominant entertainment medium in the united states. the paramount anti-trust consent decree requiring separate ownership for production companies and theater chains had gone into effect on 1 january 1950. large numbers of young men and women were marrying, having children, and moving to the suburbs, which affected the viability of downtown first-run movie theaters. foreign revenues were endangered by protectionist tactics including quota systems, high taxes, and blocked funds. finally, the morality and patriotism of hollywood films and filmmakers were under attack from government, religious, and citizens' groups.
